      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      Ok a reasonable and thought out argument in favor of interiors, that's a first. Have either of you ever played X3 / X rebirth? For those not in the know, X3 is like freelancer; you start out in a ship, fly around and do missions to do money then start investing in better ships. The big...

      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      Anyone who puts aesthetics above gameplay is a massive tool. If aesthetics contributed anything to a game, no mans sky wouldn't be treated like garbage. Once again failing to address the WHY. WHY should aesthetics be forced into the game, especially when its at the cost of gameplay??? Do you...

      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      RPVP now? There was a troll thread a while back, RP vs PVP = False , that despite just shitting on the people who disagree with heatboxes did make one noteworthy point: It's not PVP vs RP, it's GAMEPLAY vs AESTHETICS. Every argument centered around heatboxes ultimately boils down to making ships...

      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      Sarcasm is still a discussion, if you want people to be polite to you at least put in some effort in trying to understand them. My term, and you're the one misusing it. I'm not misinterpreting a single thing, you're shoving your opinion down everyone elses throats. I read what you've posted, i...

      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      I was referring to "THEY" being my behalf, and everyone else that disagrees with you. Is starmade supposed to be freelancer, eve or x3 like game about ship battles and factions (what it started out as) or no man sky, mass effect, ftl about crew interactions and story, that's the issue i...

      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      This is the point where you absolutely fail to explain your case. First of all, we're asking WHY this change should be made, not what the effects are or how to do them. Secondly "creativity" is not limited to aesthetics, there is creativity in mechanics too, something those who don't play the...

      Dual Distribution Model

      I never understood this, why does roleplay care if the ships are imballanced or not? Does roleplay require the mechanics to force interiors, and if so why?

      "Heat Boxes" and Crew - Why it Works

      It also fails to address every gameplay issue with the current power system: High delay weapons extremely inefficient Low capacity high regen ships are only viable power grid design Heavily favours miniships / modular ships Along with the multitude of expected exploits chandelier ships...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Oh look another truly great guy joins the frey! Weird how its always the RP side getting what they want while PVP continues to be an after thought. You are a super guy. Heat boxes aren't solid, bullets pass through them. If you dont put blocks there you wont take damage, but thanks for your...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Look at the picture, awesome guy you. Y0u make interior, we make floating disconnected balls with a fraction of your mass that are incredibly hard to hit.

      Why exactly is power broken?

      What the fuck is the point of that? Effective heatboundary is just the maximum they'll use then; surpassing that cripples the ship, and spacing systems out more is free. When are you going to kill this retarded idea? You said it's not a concern, but it clearly is. Regardless, the entire point...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      SO. * . WHAT. You can get to level 10 in world of warcraft by fighting level 1 mobs, literally noone is stupid enough to do that. When you put more than 40 blocks down and it doesnt mine faster. People have fucking agency, they don't need, or want, to be lead around on a leash. Where does ARK...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      That isn't space-cost, space cost of turrets go down, space cost of systems go down, you should leave most of your ship empty and not covered by armor so weapons can pass through and not waste mass on armor aka chandelier ships, and the suggestion also involves adding a fuckload of docked guns...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Why * is that not a valid problem? Also if you have an actual game where you also lose resources, if your miners are inefficient enough you'll be completely stagnant and unable to progress. And no that's not the only problem; Optimizing resource income per resources spent SHOULD be the biggest...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      This is my point; you need to introduce PROBLEMS to fix, but all i've heard from you was adding SOLUTIONS for people to follow rather than solving themselves. Designing non-combat ships has zero complexity because there is no design space, and the functions are pisseasy to fill because cargo...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      Because the only way you can solve this is to make space worthless; that's the implication of heatboxes; the space an object takes up is not important. How do you think this impacts turret and rail design? A lot of my stuff is designed to overcome space limitations, like gatling guns that can...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      More like "I want to make things that look a certain way so lets get rid of any mechanical limitations no matter how badly it fucks up the game. Also i should be able to compete with people who have spent hundreds of hours optimizing designs without any effort on my part even though i dont...

      People who dont like building for PVP are free to have terrible ships

      Why exactly is power broken?

      You're ignoring one of the mechanics that are currently missing; those large ships should be much more expensive, but because everyone are spoonfed resources that just doesn't matter. Same thing with much larger combat ships; they cost a lot more. This doesn't matter yet, but once you start...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      I don't know the posts you're referring to but there are a lot of people in favor of interior decorating replacing game mechanics. What they, and you, aren't doing is posting why the suggestion you're making is justified: You want more interior space; WHY. YOU are asking for a change, yet it's...
